Our top Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. American Dream: 3 Bed / 2 Bath Oceanfront Home with 2 Covered Porches Close to O has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
